Process for controlling an image recording and control apparatus therefor

Abstract

A method for controlling image recording includes actuating, using a control unit, equipment for the image recording. Image data of the recorded images is processed using a computer unit. Control commands for the image recording are combined to form a script. The script is transmitted from the computer unit to the control unit.

1 . A method for controlling image recording, comprising: 
 actuating, using a control unit, equipment for the image recording;    processing, using a computer unit, image data of the image recording;    combining a plurality of control commands for the image recording so as to form at least one script; and    transmitting the at least one script from the computer unit to the control unit.    
   
   
       2 . The method as recited in  claim 1  wherein the at least one script includes a plurality of scripts and further comprising saving a plurality of scripts in the computer unit.  
   
   
       3 . The method as recited in  claim 1  wherein the combining is performed using the computer unit so as to at least one of newly generate, amend and supplement the at least one script.  
   
   
       4 . The method as recited in  claim 1  further comprising sending a starting signal to the control unit using the computer so as to start the image recording.  
   
   
       5 . The method as recited in  claim 1  wherein the transmitting is performed by transmitting to the control unit only a respective script of the at least one script to be executed at a given time.  
   
   
       6 . The method as recited in  claim 1  further comprising encrypting the at least one script.  
   
   
       7 . A control apparatus for controlling image recording, comprising: 
 a control unit configured to actuate equipment for the image recording; and    a computer unit configured to process image data of the image recording and to provide at least one script including a plurality of control commands for the image recording, the computer unit being connectable to the control unit so as to enable a transmitting of the at least one script.    
   
   
       8 . The control apparatus as recited in  claim 7  wherein the least one script includes a plurality of scripts.  
   
   
       9 . The control apparatus as recited in  claim 7  wherein the computer unit is configured to at least one of generate, amend and supplement the at least one script.  
   
   
       10 . The control apparatus as recited in  claim 7  wherein the computer unit is configured to transmit a starting signal to the control unit.  
   
   
       11 . The control apparatus as recited in  claim 7  wherein the control unit is configured so that only a respective script of the at least one script to be run at a given time is resident in the control unit.  
   
   
       12 . An apparatus for multi-dimensional image recording, comprising: 
 a control unit configured to initiate the image recording;    a camera configured to record an image of an object captured by a microscope so as to form image data;    a computer unit configured to receive and process the image data and to provide at least one script including a plurality of control commands for the image recording, the computer unit being connectable to the control unit so as to enable a transmitting of the at least one script.    
   
   
       13 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 12  further comprising an illuminating device configured to illuminate the object.  
   
   
       14 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 12  further comprising a moving device configured to move the object.  
   
   
       15 . A computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable process steps operative to perform a method for controlling image recording, the method comprising: 
 actuating, using a control unit, equipment for the image recording;    processing, using a computer unit, image data of the image recording;    combining a plurality of control commands for the image recording so as to form at least one script; and    transmitting the at least one script from the computer unit to the control unit.    
   
   
       16 . The computer readable medium as recited in  claim 15  wherein the computer executable process steps are executable using the computer unit.  
   
   
       17 . The computer readable medium as recited in  claim 15  wherein the computer executable process steps are executable using the control unit.
